Too F'ing fast RAIDER! Thanx.

how do I convert it to ppp?
I used the search optiion, believe me. All I found was ppp to rmnet because of the early on data disconnects. Could you guys help? Thanks in advance.

the initrd and the zimage on the sd card is needed for CW or its a zimage files for your zip rom?
its question becouse you write its gauner kernel from HDrom, and he have in gauner hd rom 0.3 kernel with OC to 1113mh... can i replace the zimage from the sd card with this one and its allready replace in system?

the zImage on the SD is for CWM recovery, not the ROM, the zImage for the rom is in the boot partition on the NAND

Damn, I feel like an A$$! Didnt think it was that literal, I thought you had to drop certain files in there, but I will just make one with SUFBS. Thanks.

ok so if i want to replace zimage i need to go with install.bat wia adb? or its possible with cw?

Well even though I hate Sense.. I have to flash something with Clockwork. Here we go.

I think we can change in zip file : boot --->zImage and /system/lib/modules ----> ..
wait for RaiderX303 confirm this method again.

boot into CWM, then using adb run these commands
adb shell mount /dev/block/mtdblock2 /boot
adb push zImage /boot/zImage
adb reboot

or just change the zImage in the cache fix zip file and reflash

canot install mdj 9.2 oc rom becouse its canot mount boot block mtdblock0

thanks so much! its work just edited install_ kernel.bat and its allready replace the zimage

@raiderx
hmmm is it possible to use your .zip and swap the system folder with a cm6 system folder+nand kernels and flash from there?
in theory its possible but asking first before my phone becomes a ticking timebomb
does it need to be signed?

Notes:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This build is a rework/continuation of MDJ Froyo Sense Revolution series
If m-deejay decides to update his original build, I will discontinue this build
Use this at your own risk. I will not be accountable if this causes you phone to fail, or you lose your data. The backup of your data is your responsibility.
I am a newbie to the android development, so please be patient with fixes and releases; and your help and advice will be appreciated.
Finally: Please, Click Thanks if you appreciate the build, and all works.
Kernel Usage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The kernel used in this ROM is based on MDJ S9.2, and have ported it, and have patched to the latest upstream with a lot of fixes Just to confirm, this kernel was originally S9.2 from MDJ, so up until then all credit is to him
The git is available here, check logs and diffs for the changes made. There is a neat build script to get it compiled for yourself if you want as well in Linux or cygwin. I am using the test branch at the moment.

I have tested an upgrade myself to these releases myself, and have not encountered any problems. But everyones setup is different, the upgrade process may work for you. But would recommend to do a NAND backup before you do. FINALLY, I will not be held responsible if you lose any data.
DFT releases will not be provided, so DON'T ask
The build of this ROM is available here, If anyone wants to have play with this build, then feel free to checkout the repository by running the following command in Linux. This will grab the whole repository onto your machine.

* create a file called config.txt
* add the following contents to the file
a2sd_mode=data
* run "adb push config.txt /sdcard/."
* reboot your phone.
If this doesn't work, then run the following commands
adb shell ls -l /dev
adb shell mount
adb shell df
and let me know the results

Thanks, I'll report results in a moment.
Edit 1: It will be a longer one, because my connection is ridiculously slow and I have to download sdk and jdk
Edit 2: None of your advices helped, still have 3.85 MB of free space.

What do you mean writing "the new version"?

There isn't a new version yet, and haven't planned one as yet. But I have some ideas that I wanted to try to fix some of the issues that this ROM has
Most of my time has been spent on doing the CM nightlies and the CWR updates, and getting RM support for the leo. But I will see when I can get time out to do an update here as well.

[TOOL] [v3.2] [09NOV] Ubuntu Touch "system-image" Installer // w/o computers

[TOOL] [v3.2] [09NOV] Ubuntu Touch "system-image" Installer // w/o computers
# All credit goes to Ubuntu and contributors
ut-system-installer
I wanted to install Ubuntu Touch system-image (official, ro, OTA-enabled, for-sale-in-the-future) on my Galaxy Nexus, but there were some limitations and disadvantages to do so. It requires Ubuntu on my computer and completely wipes my device. Compared to cdimage-touch, which one can install easily with his/her phone, system-image is hard for some people to try, so I made a simple recovery-flashable zip with shell scripts to install it without computer and losing data. It downloads and installs system-image on your device(officially supported ones only).
What is does:
The same thing as doing
Code:
phablet-flash ubuntu-system --channel devel --no-backup
but without wiping the device, so
-Download files for installing Ubuntu Touch system-image (half-automatically)
-Install it on your device (supported ones by Canonical)
Supported Devices:
-Galaxy Nexus (maguro, toro, toroplus)
-Nexus 7 (grouper, tilapia)
-Nexus 4 (mako)
-Nexus 10 (manta)
Downloads:
http://d-h.st/users/zittoro/ut
Do not use anything in wip folder.
* This will install a CWM-based recovery from Ubuntu, and your device could brick but will not be compensated. *
How-to:
1. Download the zip.
2. Unzip it in /sdcard/Download/ut
3. Move or copy ut-system-dl(read "Arguments for "ut-system-dl"" in second post for options) to /data. Then run the script with root(su). You can just type these in terminal instead of doing this step manually (You need busybox and su installed)
Code:
su
cp -a /storage/emulated/0/Download/ut/ut-system-dl /data
sh /data/ut-system-dl
4. Zip everything in /sdcard/Download/ut
5. Flash it in recovery and reboot recovery (Just use the default install menu at home if you are using special recoveries like MultiROM)
6. Enjoy Ubuntu Touch
Bug reports: post your /sdcard/Download/ut/ut-system.log, /cache/recovery/last_log, and copy of the error if possible

Looks like your path is wrong? If its going into download/ut shouldn't it be:

It installs a CWM-based recovery with some tweaks and workout for system-image installation. Since it doesn't even touch your system partition, you can just flash an android kernel and get back to android.

Nice! That makes it pretty easy. Now we just need a way to dual boot lol. Perhaps a program that allows you to select android or ubuntu, and upon android selection it flashes a new kernel?

[Q] flashing F4k's kernel

o/
Trying to flash F4k's awesome kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636890
(I'd post there but it won't let me before I have 10 posts).
I'm using ROM manager: Install ROM from SD card - I select the zip from my SD card - confirm.
However, it doesn't seem to work. What seems to happen is that wlan configuration files (system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/) do flash, but kernel remains unchanged. Options - About Device says that kernel version is 3.4.0-1266356 which is what my Mini came with.
As a result I end up with old kernel and broken wlan.
Recovery does report that "some operations fail". Attaching recovery.log
Halp? Am I doing this wrong? Should I apply the .zip using some other tools?
Thanks!
[edit] attachment is invisible (yet?) so here's an alternative copy of recovery.log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7g2378naa4bhbdy/recovery.log

What ROM are you using?
Installation is suppose to be simple with CWM:
1. Boot to CWM
2. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Install kernel ZIP (do not extract the zip or modifiy it)
4. Reboot.

Yup, that's effectively the same thing I did (only I used ROM Manager app to avoid pressing volume down button lol). Fails on the same assert and produces that same recovery.log as I've shared.

Looking at this, should the script mkdir /system/etc/init.d? Or should I simply do it beforehand? It's not there on my stock filesystem.

Stock.
By which I mean I9195TDVUAMH1, the stock for Australian I9195T.
Should be fine, right? Or did I misunderstand?
Yup, that's effectively the same thing I did (only I used ROM Manager app to avoid pressing volume down button lol). Fails on the same assert and produces that same recovery.log as I've shared.

I assume you have rooted your phone.. I have no idea why it does that, I think you should redirect the quuestion at F4k's post for stock ROM.

Thanks for your help TNCS. Five more posts and I'll be able to post in that thread
In the meantime I hope F4k doesn't mind a private message.

[RECOVERY] [golden] TWRP 2.8.1.0 for S3 Mini (I8190)

Hello.
I built Omnirom from the sources and with this comes TWRP - version 2.8.1.0
The build is from 07. November 2014.
I removed support for true type fonts because it gave some build errors. (FYI: git revert 76ee903)
There is no support for f2fs.
How to install:
1) Boot up your phone, connect it to the PC and stay in the home screen
2) Copy recovery.img to the sdcard
3) Open the shell: adb shell
4) Get root: su
5) Compare the checksum of the file: md5sum /path/to/file
6) Flash it: dd if=/path/to/the/recovery/file of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
7) Reboot into recovery if you want
Thanks to: TWRP team, golden-guy

P.S.: I cannot tell you if it works for the GT-i8190N/L version - test it and report back if you like.
P.S.S.: I will not provide a flashable zip file but if somebody wants to do this I am fine with that.
P.S.S.S.: Apply the mentioned steps at your own risk

Can you make a flashable one?

I will not provide a flashable zip file but if somebody wants to do this I am fine with that.

Can confirm that this works for the i8190N, but I'm getting a load of "Unable to mount" errors in the log when im trying to mount anything BUT the mtp is working for the external sd card. /system/ is formatted as f2fs and possibly others so I'm thinking thats the problem. Does this have f2fs support?

Thx for reporting back and good to hear that it works for the i8190N as well.
Unfortunately there is no support for f2fs - and this might be causing the problems you experience. I do not get errors when mounting ext4.
For TWRP with f2fs support you might to have a look here:

you can make it too.
just open any flashable recovery zip with winrar delete the img file and replace it with this and finish.

Flashable zip
Here's a flashable zip for those who are looking for it. I haven't flashed this yet myself (at work), it should work without any problems but ymmv. I'll test it later myself and report back. You should have another recovery ready to flash that you know to be working in case this doesn't work for you.

can you update your TWRP to v2.8.5.0?
